Sheefa Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) All As above, have purchased Johnny G's big HKS GT3037 twins and they will be installed next Spring. Rationale for project title is fairly self explanatory. Twins and I'm spending far more time and money on the car than the Mrs who has absolutely no idea I'm about to shell out another £10k or so on the build. I will be single in more ways than one come the new year - but picking up a new more understanding lady can wait. Not exactly sure on spec yet, but current thinking as follows: Engine Healthy 2997cc 2JZ-GTE Straight Six (will be compression tested) SRD Stage 2 cams BC valve springs and new OEM Stock retainers Teflon coated valve stem seals New Gasket and Seals as requred Turbo HKS Full Big Twins with rebuilt GT3037's (HTA wheels) Dual HKS intake pipes w/ HKS filters HKS header HKS Heat Shields HKS downpipe 2 into 1 HKS wastegates Oil feeds & returns w/ all the correct fittings. Exhaust HKS 4” Carbon Titanium Exhaust Envy 3" Decats ECU Syvecs S6 ECU with relevant sensors & Toucan Touch Screen Fuelling & Ignition Bosch 044 Fuel Pump in OEM modified hangar with Aeromotive fittings Injector Dynamics 1000cc Injectors (cleaned and flow tested) Whifbitz Fuel Rail with -8 feeds at each end and -6 return in the centre of the rail Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator and necessary fixings Uprated Fuel Lines with Aeromotive billet in-line filter and OEM filter and Pulsation Dampener bypass Cooling Twin Fan Setup SRD Oil Cooler kit Transmission, Brakng & Suspension Getrag 6 Speed Box with RPS Street Clutch & RPS Lightened Flywheel Tein Flex Coilover System TRD UK Spec Calipers All Round with decent Discs & CW Fast Road Brake Pads 18" Alloys with Pirelli 235/40/18 Front Tyres and 265/35/18 Rear Tyres I think that's it for now. I have a lot of reading and research to do still. Lee @ SRD will be undertaking all the work and he has provided plenty of advice so far (thank you) Ryan naturally will be doing the mapping. Thanks to Johnny for his kit and advice too. My aim for now is a healthy 650rwhp with increased rev limit to 7,500rpm at around 1.2 bar. Naturally I may go bigger power later but need to a balance up the costs and obviously will need to upgrade head further and major upgrades to the block. I want a fairly smooth power delivery and these seem perfect. Any advice and suggestions on additional components or change in spec would be well received and appreciated. Looking forward to it.

Littler Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 That's a great spec! What was it you said at Dynodaze, i 'may' go for more power next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Good look mate should be interesting cant wait for pics off lee next year !! Good look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Awesome! That was an excellent buy!! What was it you said earlier in the year? BPU will be more than enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Great buy Sheefa, it would be my dream to get big twins one day What was it you said earlier in the year? BPU will be more than enough Oops, I think I just said pretty much the same thing in my thread, don't tell Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I agree on the injectors, they are not big enough, also think about the following 2 row intercooler is not ideal and will be holding you back potentially Racing plugs would be a good move You are going to be pushing your luck with a stock auto box and 600whp so a couple of coolers needed Don't forget all the silly little things like engine mounts, oil and water pumps, seals etc it all adds up Great to see another car getting built though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah would imagine the injectors would be near there limits? But as I said earlier hell of a spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 It's an auto in his garage ? Worth thinking about ARP rod bolts and main bolts as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddav3 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 It's an auto in his garage ? Worth thinking about ARP rod bolts and main bolts as well that was his old supe. he just bought james's old supra i think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 If it is an 6 speed you'll need an good clutch;), I would add an good flowing system exhaust if you don't have one already. Nice partslist so far, good luck with the build:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Ah ok, garage update needed then, like me !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Those injectors will be too small Greg I know mate. Thought I might go for small/medium power now and upgrade later to some 800s, still deciding whether to just do it now. That's a great spec! What was it you said at Dynodaze, i 'may' go for more power next year? Yeah - I lied! Awesome! That was an excellent buy!! What was it you said earlier in the year? BPU will be more than enough BPU is definitely enough power mate. However, Johnny was a good seller and he convinced me to buy! I agree on the injectors, they are not big enough, also think about the following 2 row intercooler is not ideal and will be holding you back potentially Racing plugs would be a good move You are going to be pushing your luck with a stock auto box and 600whp so a couple of coolers needed Don't forget all the silly little things like engine mounts, oil and water pumps, seals etc it all adds up Great to see another car getting built though Thanks Dean. Yes mate I bought a new one so need to update garage. Now a decent spec 6speed. Will review injectors, has an RPS clutch at moment which is pretty good and may be sufficient. Will get Lee to check over all the other bits when I drop it off. If it is an 6 speed you'll need an good clutch;), I would add an good flowing system exhaust if you don't have one already. Nice partslist so far, good luck with the build:cool: It's a HKS TI Carbon with 4" box. Should be OK for now unless I want to go northwards of 600.

Krister Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) Those twins are a little over kill for 600whp. Those are good for 1000hp, right? I'd get at least 850cc drop in injectors and shoot for 700whp. Or even better to get a cheap Ebay fuel rail and used set of 1000cc's. You will hate the laggy twins with limited to 1 bar because of injectors.. Edited November 19, 2012 by Krister (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
